So how does it really drive? Does the technology work in everyday use? Can the average driver deal with it easily? These questions have been keeping us engineers busy for a long time. The Ampera becomes a part of “real life” with its market launch. So our blog readers, some of whom are ePioneers with a purchase option, can then also enjoy the experience of electric driving.

For some time now I have enjoyed the privilege of driving this car both for business and pleasure. The Ampera has integrated itself seamlessly and silently into my day-to-day life, except that it still turns the neighbors’ heads. Comments like “Wow, is that the Ampera?” and “Man, is it quiet” are indicative of people’s interest in this new technology. I have yet to encounter any skepticism or car/technology cynics.

My company car is my companion through thick and thin, around the clock, in all situations from shopping outings to weekend trips after mounting the child safety seat ( @ Magne E.: of course with Isofix ) and test drives under pre-defined conditions – it’s all there. The pictures were taken on a normal work day in November.
